JOHOR BAHRU: A man alleged to have been a loan shark, or “Ah Long”, was arrested while on board an aircraft at Senai airport here two days ago.
The police statement came in response to a widely-shared 12-second video clip on TikTok showing police boarding an aircraft to look for a suspect.
Johor Bahru Selatan police chief Raub Selamat said the 28-year-old suspect was nabbed on arrival after flying in from a northern state.
This was a follow-up to the arrest of four other individuals earlier, he said. The man has been remanded for four days for investigations.
